Went out diving yesterday. This was my second time out. Last year I didn't have a reef tank so I had a completely different experience this time. Was much more aware of my surroundings this time. Thought I'd share some pictures

Perhaps, but these kits are not super-accurate, so you miss the post-change drop.
Another possibility is that you have nitrate in your tap water. Are you RO filtering your water before using to make salt water?
Given that your other tank has lower nitrates I suspect it is the rocks and not the water. If it is the rocks, I wouldn’t get too concerned over a stable nitrate of 10. It will eventually go down if you use an algae scrubber, feed light, skim wet, do frequent water changes, etc.... I like to have a nitrate level of about 5, so you actually aren’t too far from my target zone, anyway.

Heads up that I have a number of large colonies available, too. If you think you might be interested in one bring a bucket. Here are some more teasers. See you all this weekend! Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Thank you for your kind words! This ages me a bit, but I've been working in e-commerce since 2002. Forums/message boards have always been an important tool for communicating with the people who are most passionate about whatever it was I was marketing at the time ... computer parts/electronics, vitamins/supplements, and now aquarium products (I've been with MD for 10 years now and have had an absolute blast working here). So believe me when I say we are always listening and lurking. LOL Unless it's the weekend, you can generally expect a reply same-day from us or at the very least within 24 hours if it's a more complex issue that requires some research. In any case, it is a real honor to be a sponsor here and we look forward to many more interactions with PNWMAS members in the future.
Have an awesome Friday,

Like a lot of us I enjoy cars, rc cars, racing cars in Mexico of course. I used to build and race banshees as well. I now get to build race cars that we race.... In Mexico. For work. The BMW is my personal project for now. I used to snowboard and wakeboard but knees are stopping that. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

They are! They are the prettiest xenia I have seen. I sell them on separate rocks so that people can keep them separate from their own rock work, to lessen the chance they will spread. No one wants a xenia dominant tank. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

I can’t wait to finally get water in it! Dumb weather delayed my shipment so my RODI unit won’t be here till Monday! Hmmm maybe I’ll just borrow the one from my frag tanks.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I play on xbox not pc so theres not much cheating going on. It is definitely full of bugs though, some make for good laughs others are frustrating. They have been doing a great job with constant updates and patches for xbox.

Not sure if anyone noticed this or not but there was an announcement today regarding a new building planned for the Marine Studies Initiative center at the Hatfield location in Newport. Sounds like pretty exciting stuff so will be curious to hear more about the plans.

I put waaaaay too many hours into the alpha/beta, finally managed to quit right after 1.0. I love this game. I also hate this game. A lot. This video missed the 4x1000m uzi headshots on you and your entire team that were in a car moving 100km/h all in less than a second. The rampant cheating really took the steam out of it for me. And the constant crashing. And the hilarious terrain collisions while driving. At least they finally fixed a lot of the UI issues with release.
I'm a dork.

I enjoy beer making and sailing as well. If you need crew I have offshore experience, sailed to Bermuda, Antigua to Grenada a few times and up and down the east coast and the Bahamasa hand full of times.
